Out before Christmas...Again

[Libby Hibby]

When they get put out by Celtic on Saturday will that be the 3rd time in a row they have been put out of their 'Special relationship' cup before Christmas?

In all seriousness, if we can overcome Alloa on Saturday, 50% of the SPL clubs have to go out, so hopefully we can get a wee run in it this season

Yeah, they haven't won a Scottish Cup match since that day.

Here's hoping it won't be third time lucky.

They haven't even scored a Scottish Cup goal since that day.

I'd rather they put Celtic out.

I want us to win the thing.

I'm more concerned about us I have to say - tricky tie this weekend ...we will need to play well to go through

[macca70]

Surely this is a Yam wind up?

Not quite sure we can gloat or be making sarcastic comments about their Scottish Cup record.

My Jambo mates have seen them win it twice since 2006, there's not a person still alive on this planet that's seen us win it. but as long as we stay in it til Christmas!!

[stevie-bee]

I can see hearts beating celtic,
And I think we will struggle at Alloa on the plastic pitch

[allezsauzee]

I think Celtic will be up for it and will batter the yams but I don't think we should be gloating about anyone's Scottish Cup record. We should win but the 15/4 on offer for Alloa looks a decent price considering we've lost there already this season.

[Libby Hibby]

Are we not allowed to discuss their poor record in this trophy since they beat us in the final? Every Hibby is fully aware of our shocking history and there's not a lot we can do about that but we can certainly highlight their failings since 2012!!! Possibly in the same way they highlight it as a success.

And when a post is put up slagging our rivals, very strange that fellow Hibby's suddenly bring up our record in some way to squash the discussion instead of trying to poke fun at them

Sorry guys, no Jambo on the wind up here

Talk like this comes back to bite you. Let's just worry about our game on Saturday.

Absolutely right, we need to look after ourselves first and never mind what happens elsewhere !! We will have our work cut out on Saturday as Alloa will be right up for it given our woeful performance there earlier in the season.....we will need to be on top off our game definitely

GGTTH

[PatHead]

Have we booked a training session on the Alloa pitch or are we training at Spartans again in preparation?

Correction - they haven't scored a goal against the opposition since that day.

I seem to recall Marius Zaliukas knocking in the winner for us a couple of years ago.

Cheers Zal.

I would feel more confident of winning against Celtc in the Scottish Cup than I would against Hearts.

Our record is so bad in the competition that I'm completely relaxed about things now. Whatever happens, happens.

My expectation levels as far as Hibs and the Scottish Cup is concerned is virtually zero so anything good that happens is a positive.

You think hearts are a better team than Celtic?

No but that's a slightly different issue.

Playing Hearts in a one off knockout match in the Scottish Cup isn't something that I would look forward to and given our record against them, coupled with our awful record in the Scottish Cup, I would feel more confident about playing Celtc.

Especially if they're still involved in Europa League duties after Christmas, which is looking likely.

tell them, God has seen us win it, and he is waiting for a special time, to let us win it again

[Hibernia&Alba]

Their 'special relationship' with the cup is beyond cringe, just like calling themselves the 'big team' and 'the famous'. They really need to be reminded they aren't Real Madrid.

I'm not sure why our record against them would make any difference. The bottom line is that they have had better teams so they have won more matches than we have but there are now different players at the clubs. If people try and use the fact that hearts were beating us when they were skint in their argument then they should also realise that everyone else was also beating us.

Our recent Scottish cup record is actually quite good (finals apart) and letting things like 110 years or whatever influence you in any way is like worrying about the grinch stealing Christmas. Again, totally different players who were nothing to do with what happened before and don't really care.

The bottom line is that if hearts bring their A game then it won't matter because if we bring ours then we're going through. If Celtic fancy it we're going out and there's not much we can do about it. All that is based on analysing this seasons performances, not hocus pocus.


...or maybe your stance towards Celtic is softening?

[Cod Boy]

Funny how alot of Hearts fans are coming out with the cup is a distraction this season. As they are concentrating on the league.

They decided it was a distraction the minute they drew Celtic.

I don't see how our record doesn't make any difference.

They haven't always had better teams than us and yet they always seem to have the upper hand against us.

Different players are at both teams almost on a yearly basis and yet it's almost always the same story when it comes to a derby.

I'm not sure how you can say with any certainty that if both clubs played at the top of their game then we would go through. We put in one of the best derby performances I've seen by a Hibs team for a good few years in the most recent derby and we still couldn't beat them.

Obviously if we played Celtc and they played to their potential then we would lose to them too.

And no my stance towards Celtc isn't softening, you'll be glad to know.

If they were playing anyone else other than Hearts at the weekend, I would be hoping for them to get gubbed.

Horrible, disgusting excuse of a club.
